Hi All,
Like most, my drivers seat has some wear on the bolster and rather than having them recovered I thought perhaps the seat backs could swapped from the passenger seat. I realise this means taking the seats apart and wonder if anyone has done it?
Cheers

How much wear is 'some wear' ? Is it revivable ? Post a pic if you can. I've done some significant revival to my seats, and they look and feel great. Let's see what you got.

I am doing mine just now and you cannot just swap them over.The mechanism on the seat back pivot will not allow since they are left and right specific. You could spend a lot of time dismantling and removing the cover but if you go that far just put new leather on. I am documenting the entire leather replacement as I proceed . If you need any pictures to see what I am doing to help you, email me.
